Let’s cut through the noise in 2025: the current music streaming ecosystem is fundamentally broken.
The Spotify Starvation Wage Imagine creating art, pouring your heart and soul into music, only to discover that 250,000 streams barely covers your monthly rent. That’s the harsh reality for most artists on traditional streaming platforms:
- Spotify Payout: A devastating $0.003 to $0.005 per stream
- Math of Survival: An artist needs approximately 250,000-350,000 streams MONTHLY just to earn minimum wage
- Annual Reality: A musician with 1 million streams might earn a mere $3,000-$5,000 per year
